Abacast and Mel Taylor Partner for Webinar on Winning Against New Threats to Radio

Attendees Will Receive Detailed Information on New Competitors Targeting Local Ad Dollars as Well as Specific Instructions for Competing and Winning Against Them

CAMAS, WA--(Marketwire - January 20, 2011) - Abacast, a provider of online radio streaming solutions, is partnering with Mel Taylor Media on a Radio-Info.com sponsored webinar titled "Competing and Winning Against the New Threats to Radio."

Radio has survived a variety of digital threats over the years. Can they keep their winning streak alive?

In this webinar, Mel Taylor and Abacast's Michael Dalfonzo highlight a group of new competitors to Radio that are making their move on Radio's traditional local advertising turf. These competitors have their sights set on small and mid-size business ad dollars, the same ad dollars that have been Radio's bread and butter for decades.

Webinar attendees will get a comprehensive look at these competitors including Patch, Reach Local, Groupon, and various other hyperlocal publishers -- who they are, what they're up to, and a look at their plans to take local ad share from Radio. Attendees will receive specific instructions and best practices on how to effectively compete and win against them.
